Wood Grilling Planks

Nature's Cuisine Cooking Products

 These  wood grilling planks and oven boards are products that are used for cooking in the oven or the barbecue.  It is a modern, natural grilling method that makes grilling festive and fun, whether for everyday meals or special occasions.  It lends a tantalizing smokey flavor to seafood, meat, poultry, vegetables and fruit.  Natural oils and moisture in alder and cedar add subtle flavors to salmon, but keeps it succulent and tender.The grilling planks and oven boards are both very user friendly and it makes it a lot harder to burn the meat.  This means it is healthier for you because, according to the Cancer Society,the black stuff on burnt meat can cause cancer.  No more presenting burnt offerings to the wife.

Grilling planks are soaked in water and the  used for cooking on a barbecue.  They impart in the food a tantalizing smoky flavor, plus flavor coming from the 4 different woods being used.  Once you barbecue with them a couple of times, you will learn how your barbecue works and can use the boards more then once.  I sometimes get up to 4 yses from them.  Just use a plastic scrub brush on them after cooking, and let them dry out untill the next time.

Cooking Wraps are thin sheets of alder or cedar that are soaked in water before using.  Your food is wrapped inside and tied with butcher's string and cooked on the barbecue.  This is great for parties as each guest would be able to choose different items to be cooked as apetizers in their own individual wrap.

Cooking with cedar wraps

Oven boards are not soaked in water.  Instead they are seasoned with olive oil and used directly in the oven.  these can be used a number of times, just like a roasting pan.

Western Red Cedar

Sweet, spicy flavors blended with a mild, smokey edge.  Excellent with all types of food, but especially good with fish and vegetables.

Western Alder

Robust, smoky flavor, complimented with a light vanilla essence.  Traditionally used with salmon and other fish, but is also great with vegetables, cheeses and pizza.  Yes you can cook pizza on the barbecue.

Western Maple

Sweet, buttery taste with layers of mild smoky flavor.  Excellent for all types of food.

Shagbark Hickory

Rich, smoky flavors, with mild bacon notes.  Superb with meat and poultry, plus buggers, pizza and bread.
 We also carry a line of oven boards from Nature's Cuisine, and the come in Cedar, Alder and Maple.  You will find they are a unique, natural and healthy way of cooking.

The oven planks can be used over and over again and clean up with warm water and a soft scrub brush.  The wood naturally adds flavor and retains the food's moisture, eliminating the need for heavy sauces.  As an added value, the plank can double as an attractive serving tray, from oven to table.

The flavors of foods are richly enhanced, and the sweet smell off the wood is brought into your home, adding a cozy atmosphere to the meal. 

Because good wine and food naturally go together, it made sense that we would carry these products in both our stores.  Divine Wines is now the exclusive carrier of these products in the Chilliwack area.There aren't a lot of places where people can buys these items and because of our source, we are able to be very competitive in pricing.  More importantly, we know that our customers are getting a very safe wood product because it has not been treated with chemicals.

Most of this type of product is made in Asia, with the raw logs coming from BC, and then shipped back.  We know from recent health scares, that they don't always have the safest methods over there.

All our Nature's Cuisine products are from locally sourced wood and processed right here in Chilliwack, keeping the jobs local and cutting down the carbon footprint, since there is no long distance transportation involved.  This local company sells their wood cooking products all over North America.
